(in)voluntary absentmindedness

Last night I had that very strange feeling you get when you realise that earlier that day you'd been happily chatting away to someone who not only do you know of but actually have a couple of their sitting books on the shelf.[1] Books with some outstanding public library fines.

The Festival of British Archaeology is in full swing, with a wet start to the festivities at the Celtic village for me on Sunday. The bell casting experiment did however prove to be a highlight. This years theme is Reconnections, with activities at all the major centres in South Wales, including the National Museum, St Fagans, Caerwent and Caerleon. The festival blog will be updated throughout. And if you look carefully you'll see a very gormless me standing there, after a hard day's work clearing out

Introduction
It's 2017, so all of us engaged in academic research should all be using a reference manager. Seriously, if you're not, go look into Endnote (which is probably available on your campus PCs), Mendeley or Zotero. They do take a bit of management, and the garbage in, garbage out principle abides, but they are indispensable. Add a reference from the web to your database: one click. Make a reference: couple of clicks. Find out the journal wants all your inline citations as footnotes: two clicks. Create your bibliography: one click.

But if you are interested in any pre-modern texts you are going to run into a problem. Although you'll want to reference your secondary sources as normal, your primary sources require very different and specific referencing styles, some of which have been developed over the centuries. These are typically in the fashion of author>work>book>passage because the citation needs to work regardless of which language, translation, edit…

Some late night Latin translation. Festus wrote an abridgement of a lexicon by Verrius to which he added his own adaptations and supplements, but it barely survived into the modern world. Seriously: only one manuscript copy made it, and that was missing pages and damaged by pests, aging, and fire! Also surviving is an abridgment by Paul the Deacon. That's right, an abridgement of an abridgement, which was pretty common, concern for the busy pace of life not being merely a modern phenomenon.
